The Sackville Sports
Stadium was the first public sponsor of the "Cup of Cold Water" Project. The y
have generously agreed to provide complimentary memberships for Donna and Evan, and have
designated a personal trainer, Tim Keliher, to help prepare Evan for this cross-Canada
walk. |
|
|
|
While Tim keeps a close eye on him, Evan
works on muscle strengthening and walks many kilometers on the treadmill preparing himself
for the rigorous 8500 km. walk. |

In the summer of 1997, Evan and
Donna's son, Matthew, visited Haiti for seven weeks. Here, he volunteered at medical
clinics and for much of the time lived with a local Haitian family. Matthew saw first hand
the desperate need for safe water in this country. A member of his host family had to
travel each day to another town to buy a bucket of water for the family's daily needs.
When Matthew returned home, he, along with his parents, were
determined to help construct wells for the Haitians.
Matthew is currently a medical doctor with Capital
Health in Halifax
